I'd like to include some of the proposed gettext improvements into that candidate, but I'm not sure I'll get the necessary time, since we're in a rush for a new distribution release. Will try to prepare a patch in the weekend.

Huh? We're talking about a bugfix release for 2.3 here. Not a good time for improvements, which sounds to me like a euphemism for new features, not for bug fixes.

Even if they are backwards compatible, I'm still -1 on adding new features to a bugfix release.
